What this sheet is for
Show that a chilled or frozen store was read, judged against a stated range and acted on, without the sheet itself pretending to know what that range is.
Who it is for
Warehouse, stores and distribution staff responsible for a walk-in chiller, cold store, freezer room or refrigerated dock.
How to use it
- Write the store, its contents and the range it has to hold at the top, with where that range came from.
- Read the store as often as your own system says and log the date, time and reading.
- Tick Within if the reading sits inside the range; note the door, seal, frost and alarm state while you are there.
- If a reading falls outside, write what you did and who you told — that column is the point of the sheet.
- Initial each row and start a new sheet when this one is full.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Readings from one cold store, chiller or freezer through a period, each one compared with the range you have written at the top, with the door, ice and alarm condition beside it and what was done when a reading fell outside.
Your range, from your system. No temperatures are printed on this sheet. The range each store has to hold comes from your own food safety or quality system, your customer's specification or the product's supplier — write that figure and its source in the boxes below, then judge every reading against it. How often you read is also yours to set.
Write-on lines: Store / unit ID · Location · Contents / product type · Range this store holds · Range set by (system, customer, supplier) · Read how often (your system)
Readings — tick Within if the reading sits inside the range above
Table, 11 rows: Date · Time · Reading · Within · Door / seal · Ice / frost · Alarm · Action if outside · Init.
Questions
Why does the sheet not print a temperature range?
Because the right range depends on what is stored, who the customer is and what your own food safety or quality system says — and a printed figure would be wrong for someone. You write the range and its source at the top; the sheet holds you to it.
How often should the store be read?
As often as your own system sets. There is a box at the top to write that frequency down, so anyone picking up the sheet knows what the gaps between rows are meant to be.
